While the firm had planned to include the camera, Sony Computer Entertainment group president Andrew House isn’t overly upset about its absence. “Certainly for the earlier part of the lifecycle, the vast majority of the audience that we speak to tells us that their primary wish is for the full controller interface, and there's not necessarily a huge emphasis being placed on camera interaction,” he explained.

However, as the machine matures – and costs decrease – the company will be able to “adjust its messaging” to more prominently include the camera. In other words, a couple of years down the line, you probably won’t be able to buy a PS4 without the PlayStation Eye. For now, though, you could always pick up a bundle if you’re eager to get the peripheral cheap – if you've been offered one, of course.

" For now, though, you could always pick up a bundle if you’re eager to get the peripheral cheap." <-----------WHAT PLANET IS HE ON ???? They have been all offered out to early preorders (I ordered Jul 01 2013 and never got offered a Mega Pack). The other "bundles" are not worth the money only saving a few quid/dollars. I will stick to the £349/$399 PS4 thanks and buy a game that I want. Besides that it is a top price and I may buy a Camera in the future depending on how they use it.

The camera cost the same as a game!(i.e not bad cheaper than kinetic 1) backwards compatible with your existing move controllers not a bad deal, and I want killzone so that bundle is very much worth it! Waiting to hear about bundles in my country really want that killzone one, because Xbox has a mandatory camera by default third party will use it if they use it on Xbox.

Well it's only 2/3 the price of PS3. And even with an Eye, it's still cheaper than Xbone. When does America get bundle upgrade offer emails? : ( I think never; we only get what we order, 'round these parts.
